A PS1 RPG made by Quintet, the same people that made ActRaiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and my beloved Terranigma, though unfortunately it doesn't really match their quality.
The combat’s interesting, when an enemy reaches you the camera shifts and you begin fighting it 1 on 1 as if it was a 3D fighter, but unfortunately the enemy variation is very limited and the game is extremely repetitive as a result. The story is also extremely boring up to the literal final dungeon, at which point it actually gets really interesting, but while I appreciate it it’s too little too late, and the game as a whole feels pretty forgettable.
I appreciate how some of the story beats are fully-voice acted anime cutscenes, that’s impressive for a PS1 game, especially since they look pretty decent. The voice acting isn’t great (despite having a couple of weirdly big names, like Steve Blum) but that adds to the charm.
Overall, though, you're probably not going to hate it but there just isn't that much here. Kind of a shame, given that this would be one of Quintet's last games, and sort of the last one that fits the themes of the unofficial series I listed at the beginning of this review.
